I’m struggling to discover a first rate method to put together cheap steaks, and was questioning what you guys do to assist make an affordable piece of meat edible? What sorts of cuts are you shopping for and what strategies do you utilize for tenderizing the meat?

Mark Rippetoe

What do you imply by “cheap”? What minimize are you referring to?

Johnsonville

There may be numerous prime spherical fairly low cost, though it’s powerful as leather-based. I’m extra simply asking when you guys have a most well-liked economic system minimize and the way do you put together it so it doesn’t style like shit. I’ve been dwelling off of your hamburger steak recipe for the final yr however need to swap it up a bit.

Chuck roast is an efficient minimize, normally low cost, that grades increased than the remainder of the carcass. Clearly you may pot roast it with carrots and potatoes, however you may also minimize it into suggestions and fry them to medium uncommon.

Purchase them complete, chuck roast, rump. The powerful cuts profit from an exceedingly lengthy cook dinner at very, very low temperatures. Suppose like 165-175F. Relying on the dimensions, you are 3-5 hours. Season liberally, place into the very chilly oven, and take away whenever you get to 125-135F relying on choice. Let relaxation. Flip your oven to 500F. As soon as it is scorching, place again within the oven for as much as 10 minutes to paint the floor.

To go along with what Rip stated, chuck roast is vastly underrated. Coming from the shoulder, it is wealthy in connective tissue, which provides if good taste. You simply must know what you are doing with it – lengthy, sluggish, moist cooking is the place it actually shines, or purposes the place you narrow it into small bits previous to cooking.

Stress cooking is an efficient method to take care of powerful cuts typically – it will get you the impact of the lengthy cooking in a fraction of the time. Digital strain cookers just like the Prompt Pot are effectively value having for this and lots of different issues (like dried beans). Make sure that to keep away from a fast launch for cooking meat, as this tends to toughen it one way or the other – simply let it come down off of strain by itself.

You may find yourself with a bunch of excellent cooking liquid, too – do not throw that out. It makes for good rice, noodles, soups, sauces, and so forth.

If you would like selection, then studying what you want for spices might be enjoyable, too.
